Three Years later.
Nicholas POV
I was in my Chambers when my Beta informed me about my Mate, the same she-wolf whom I had spent the night with some years back.
On that night, I went to the club and I decided to have a random fling. I, Alpha Nicholas of silver moon pack didn't have a mate or even a girlfriend. I was hoping to have a fling with just any woman and I asked my Beta to send a hooker into my hotel room that night. I was no Playboy, I seldom spend time with women even though I have many of them around me. I was more of a private and Reclusive person. That night, a woman was sent into my room and I spent the night with her. I discovered that she was my mate and I claimed her. However, I left the room that morning to attend to something important, I didn't expect her to leave before I return.
Ever since then, I've sent out my men to search for her. For three years, I searched for her relentlessly, hoping to find her one day. My mate and the future Luna of my pack.
"Alpha, we found her, she own a huge business and she's also a partner of one of your businesses in California." My Beta, Felix, informed me.
"What?" I exclaimed, standing up.
"Are there any other informations about her?" I asked.
"Her name is Adele Reyes, She is divorced and has a werewolf pup too. She was married to Alpha Bruce of Bluemoon pack" He explained to me.
"I heard that Alpha Bruce is sterile. Could it be that?... I asked, pausing halfway and staring at my Beta who also had a confused look on his face."
"We'll have to find out, book me the quickest flight to Los Angeles, California. If possible, create me a runway" I ordered.
Adele's POV
"Mummy" Asher, my son called out to me. Despite the fact that he was just almost three years old, he could speak perfectly and was also a strong kid. He rushed towards me as I come to pick him up from school. I carried him up and we went to.the car and I placed him gently on the seat and buckled his seat belt. Staring at my son, I have no regrets of the decision I made three years ago. By keeping him. Asher was my only hope to live and he performed his role very perfect and I loved him for it. He was my son and nothing could reverse the fact that I was a mother. If I had still remained with Alpha Bruce, maybe I might not get the chance to feel this way. A chance to be called mother by my own pup.
I patted his head slowly before I started up my car and drove out of the school premises. Today was Asher's first day in school and I was proud to pick him up. I stared at him continuously drawing on his sketch pad with his pen. I admired the fact that my son took after me. I remember that I was such a good artist and wanted to be one. Not until my previous life killed my dreams. I signed in relief. Thanking the moon goddess for giving me the chance to live my life the way I wanted to make everything successful. I now owned one of the largest art galleries in the country and I was partnering with a huge company that deals with interior designs and crafts. I never thought that I would become something or make a name for myself, previously, all I wanted was to become a good wife to Alpha Bruce and a Luna to his pack.
We arrived at the mansion shortly, nanny Lola took Asher with her to feed and bathe him. It was already 4 p.m. and I didn't need to go back to the studio for anything.
I retired to my room to rest and then surf the internet a bit. At least to keep me busy.
My phone rang suddenly and I picked up the call. It was a call from a client at work.
"Adele, how are you doing?" Mr. Dillion greeted me. He was one of my most reliable business partner and I have sold many paintings to him.
"I'm fine, Mr. Dillion. How are you doing?" I greeted him back only to get a malicious grin from him.
"Is everything alright? Mr. Dillion?" I asked him curiously. Checking the time, he should be off work also. I wasn't sure if he wanted me to help him with anything and I was also tired and not willing to return to the studio.
"I was going through the internet and I saw a painting I like. I don't know if you can draw me a similar one" he requested.
"Can you email the drawings to me? I will check them out and give you feedback" I suggested to him.
"Adele, I was thinking if we should meet personally..I'll love to discuss some other stuffs with you" he explained.
I furrowed my brow at his words and my eyes went to the clock again.
"When do you want to see me?"
"I don't know, whenever's convenient with you, Adele. Let me know please" he said
"My assistant will get back to you on your request. Thank you, Mr. Dillion"
"The pleasure's mine Miss. Reyes"
The call ended afterwards and I went to the bathroom to freshen up. When I came back, I decided to finish up a diagram I was setting for a landscape painting before retiring to bed.
I coincidentally came across an auction post on f*******: and I surveyed the materials on auction. The fair was to hold in three days time in New York by Alpha Bruce. I was dumbstruck by the news and what surprised me the most was one of the materials which was my most valued painting. The painting of my mother which I had placed in the house while I was still together with Bruce.
How could he? I wondered to myself. Seeing the hilarious price on the painting, I was more shocked on how Bruce acted with this. My painting was worth more than two million dollars. I instantly registered to join amongst the auctioneers. I was going to attend the fair and buy back my painting.
In the morning, it was a weekend. Asher wouldn't be going to school today so I took him with me to the studio. I left him alone in the studio while Mr. Dillion and I discussed in my office about the recent painting he wanted me to draw.
"Miss Reyes, I must say that I am impressed by your work. I love it" he complimented he rough sketch of the painting I made.
"Thank you, I hope to impress you more" I said.
"Really? Then I would be glad if you'll honor me to a date with you, Adele" He requested.
I stared at the man in front of me, the old human was obviously having feelings for me. But that wasn't my focus. I wasn't ready to have anything with any man. I was unwilling to open my heart and he wouldn't be the first to get rejected by me in years.
"I'm sorry I'll have to decline your request, I have a lot of jobs to do and I'm very busy too"
"That doesn't mean anything, we can still reschedule the date. Whenever's convenient for you. I'm ready to wait" he explained.
"You don't get me, Mr. Dillion. I'm actually declining your offer. I believe that you have a wife and kids to look after. I don't want to be a burden or try to ruin your marriage. If we get caught together, I wouldn't want my image ruined" I explained to him in details. He grinned at me briefly.
"You're one smart woman, Adele. And I admire that about you. Just give me a chance to prove myself to you"
"If you don't mind, I have many work to do today. I'll contact you once your painting is completed. My assistant will message you on how to make a deposit"
After Mr. Dillion left, I returned back to my studio in order to continue my work. I noticed that Asher was no longer inside the studio and the door was slightly opened.
"Asher" I yelled out his name.
"Where are you?" I yelled out again, going outside to search for my son.
Asher wasn't in the premises, I checked inside my car and where I could. I couldn't find him.
I was about to go crazy, just by searching for him. Where did my little pup go?
I raked my hand through my hair, I tried to look for him by using his scent but it was almost impossible.
